Lineups, roster changes and starting goaltenders for Bruins-Habs game
The Original Six rivals meet for the final time this season.
The Boston Bruins (48-25-5) travel to Montreal to take on the Canadiens (20-48-11) as the B's look to end their weekend with back-to-back wins.
The Bruins are coming off a convincing 3-1 afternoon win over the Rangers yesterday, while the Habs took a 6-4 loss to the Ottawa Senators last night.
Because the B's are playing in a back-to-back situation, the team already announced that it will rest stars David Pastrnak and Hampus Lindholm for today's game.
Whether forwards Tomas Nosek or Marc McLaughlin take Pasta's spot on the second line wing has yet to be determined by head coach Bruce Cassidy.
Between the pipes, Boston will start rookie Jeremy Swayman (22-13-3) while the Habs will send struggling Samuel Montembeault (7-17-6) in front of their net.
With no other lineup changes expected after warm-ups, here are the B's projected lines for tonight:
Brad Marchand � Patrice Bergeron � Jake Debrusk
Taylor Hall � Erik Haula � Tomas Nosek
Trent Frederic � Charlie Coyle � Craig Smith
Nick Foligno � Marc McLaughlin � Curtis Lazar
Matthew Grzelcyk � Charlie McAvoy
Mike Reilly � Brandon Carlo
Derek Forbort � Connor Clifton
Jeremy Swayman
Linus Ullmark
Puck drop between the Bruins and Canadiens is scheduled for 7pm ET at Montreal's Bell Centre.
